From the sleek designs and fun colors to the brand’s signature unbreakable polycarbonate shell, you’d be hard-pressed to find something the brand hasn’t gotten right. That extends to its zipperless Hybrid Collection. Each piece of luggage in this collection has a zipperless aluminum frame and hard polycarbonate shell that come in three luxe finishes. Our senior shopping editor, Caitlyn Fitzpatrick, opted for the Monos Hybrid Check-In Large for two recent family vacations, and while she wasn’t quite sure what to expect at first, it didn’t take long for her to fall in love with this luggage.“Up until this point, I had never used a zipperless suitcase, so I wasnt sure if I would feel strongly one way or the other once I did,” explains Fitzpatrick, who has always opted for soft-sided luggage. “Since this is a hard-shell model, I was concerned that the lack of flexibility would be an issue, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.”A self-proclaimed overpacker, Fitzpatrick was impressed by how much she was able to cram into this suitcase (the large version has an impressive 97-liter volume) and how easy it was to close. “I found that it was easier to close my stuffed suitcase with the zipperless model when compared to the soft-sided zippered pieces Ive used in the past,” she says. To help fit even more, this bag’s interior has adjustable Y-shaped compression straps to hold clothes in place. It also has a divider with organization pockets and comes with an anti-microbial, silver ion-coated laundry bag, two shoe bags and a vegan leather luggage tag to keep everything neat and tidy while you travel.So how, exactly, does this zipperless suitcase work? Rather than a zipper that goes all the way around the suitcase, this Monos luggage has two TSA-approved locks on the far ends of the length of the suitcase. Each suitcase comes with an initial code that you can change once you’re ready.The post 5 Best Zipperless Luggage Pieces, Tested in Airports and Beyond appeared first on Reader's Digest.
